01
Upload

Drop in your model

Export an OBJ from SketchUp, Fusion, or Shapr3D. MakerKit3D reads your parts and dimensions automatically — no manual takeoffs.

02
Build Kit

Open your Build Kit

Review the parts list and live cut diagrams, set grain and stock sizes, and see a dimensioned drawing for every part — dados and miters included.

03
Packet

Print the Shop Packet

Parts list, cut diagrams, and dimensioned drawings — one print-ready PDF you take straight to the bench.

What you get

Real dimensions. Real joinery. Ready to cut.

Cutlists & dimensions

Every part, measured straight from the geometry.

MakerKit3D calculates accurate dimensions and builds an instant cutlist the moment you upload — so the measurement on the page is the measurement on the wood.

Cut diagrams

Your parts nested onto 3 sheets, not five.

Grain-aware nesting lays every part onto your stock sheets and boards and reports the yield. Change stock sizes and re-pack live, then export the cutlist.

Part drawings

Dados drawn as layout lines. Miters get an angle callout.

Every part is drawn straight from its geometry — a dado shows as hidden chained dimensions, an angled cut gets its angle. Curved parts fall back to a bounding-box drawing, so you never get a wrong measurement.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What does MakerKit3D do?

It turns your CAD model into a shop-ready Build Kit — automatically. Upload your OBJ file and we generate a parts list with exact dimensions, optimized cut diagrams, and dimensioned part drawings (dados and miters included) in minutes, ready to print as a Shop Packet.

What file formats do you support?

Currently .OBJ files exported from popular CAD tools like SketchUp, Fusion 360, and Shapr3D. Check our tutorials for export instructions.

What does it generate from my design?
  • A parts list with exact dimensions
  • Cut diagrams that nest your parts onto sheets and boards
  • Dimensioned part drawings — dados and miters included
  • A materials summary (sheets, boards, board feet)
  • A print-ready Shop Packet PDF
Does it handle joinery like dados and miters?

Yes. MakerKit3D reads each part's geometry and draws it with real dimensions — a dado shows as hidden layout lines with chained measurements, and an angled cut gets an angle callout. Curved or sculpted parts fall back to an overall bounding-box drawing so you never get a wrong measurement.

Do I need to install anything?

Nope. MakerKit3D runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install. Just upload your design and start building.

Do I need to name my parts a certain way?

Naming your mesh parts clearly (e.g. Bottom_Rail, Top_Panel) helps MakerKit3D detect and group identical parts. We automatically strip off extras like :1, Model, or Mesh3. Read our naming guide.

How do I contact support?

Reach out any time at makerkit3d@cornerwoodshop.com. We're makers too, and we love to help.
